JINOTHER GREAT CUT!! trade and meet all competition successfully. SPIKlT Of' THE fRhSisi. The Enterprise is favored this week with three communications dealing with the good j roads movement, besides several good oiiits j re made by some of the regular contrilm. j tors in their news articles. They all arrive at the same conclusion, viz: That to secure i good roads takes money, and the way to se cure the money is by a live mill or high enough levy for successive years to enable permanent work lo be done. That in the expenditure of this motiry only skilled bands should direct its use, and that the first expenditure should be in getting a road properly and permanently located, a factor not heretofore considered in road building in this slate, i'lank roads also get a hard lick. The articles are well worth perusing (or tbey present some very clear points on the road question. Public sentiment is be coming aw akened to Ihe fact that it is either better roads or the abandoning of many farms throughout this county by reason ol the impossibility of reaching a market for their products. Of the brutal freak that fashion is lion indulging in, the Iloston Commonwealth has the following caustic remarks to make: That Boston is well gone in barbarism ap pears from a Temple place, which is decorated, as we are told, hv eight humming birds.

As was to be expected the bankers have forced Carlisle to amend bis wild-cat cur rency scheme to more fully conform totheir Ideas. His plan was that when a bank failed an unlimited assessment was to be made on all the banks to redeem the out standing notes of the bank. This the bank rs kicked against, ts his bill placed no re etriction as to the amount of currency a bank could emit, and as a consequence a dishonest hank could entail an endless a seasment on the other banks to redeem its currency. With only a limited liability or none at all by the other banks, and only century. It was therefore enacted that 110 one should wear a bird In her bonnet w ho had not herself killed Ihe bird, skinned it and stuffed it. We have a good manv bar barians in Iloston of iHjth sexes, but there are few young women who could bring themselves to killing eight bumming birds. The Ktigene liegister makes the following sensible sugeslion regarding Ihe extension of the salary law to include state otlicers: While we are making county offices salaried instead ef conducting thcui on the fee style, why not do Ihe same with the state offices, it is a ell known fact that there is not a stale official who does not get far more than his salary. If the salary system is found so beneficial in county allairs, we see no reason who it should not be so in slate allairs. There having been numerous gatherlrgs of late in both Oregon and Washington for ' the purpose ol influencing legislation in 1 favor of special classei anil interests, t tie Vancouver Columbian SHggests still an other gathering. It is to lake steps to see that the rights of the insured are protected as against the insurance companies: The lire insurance agents have held a conference with a view of securing legislation that will promote Ilieir interest.

The people will ,,., matters, and the legislature should he rectify Ibis democratic idea of a bank cur- 'made to understand clearly what the rency instead of a national currency in wben the republican plan of having the gen eral government alone responsible for issu ing all the currency of the country will be again put in effect. Theke is little doubt that in a large part of Nebraska much actual want and suffer ing is now experienced by the hapless peo ple of that drouth-stricken state. We of Oregon, where crops never fail, know noth ing of the horrors of famine such as these destitute people are now undergoing. Of mothers denying themselves that their children niay have food, and instances of families dying of banger and cold as is authentically reported, is sad to think about and should arrouse people of Oregon to give of their plenty that this suffering may be averted. There are few states in the Union that have a richer soil or a more beautiful country than Nebraska, but the lack of a regular rainfall makes farming ery uncertain venture. One year the crops will be so large that they cannot be all harvested and the next year the failure will be so complete that there is not enough to feed the people. In time to tome their drouths will be averted by irrigation. With the assurance of regular crops Nebraska can become one of the wealthy slates of the country. men who bear the burden of insurance re quire in the way of additional insurance regulation and restriction. With Ihe exception of the Oregonian end a few like palters, the republican press Is a unit in condemning the relinquishment of Ihe finances of the country to the banks hy the general government. The followiuc from the i-an Krancisco Call is to the point, and is a sample of what the leading papers say ol this democratic Wall street scheme: During the year ending October 21 twenty one national banks went into the hands of receivers. 1,'nder our present currency sys tem not one dollar was lost to note-holders. No inconvenience was caused by a delay in turning notes Into coin. When a note holder heard that a national bank had failed he did not feel any concern as to whether or not he held notes on that particular bank. The government of the United States was responsible for the redemption in coin for every kind of currency he could possi bly get hold of. Whether gold certificates, silver certilicates, greenbacks or treasury notes the security was the same. Iniring fourteen years there had been no delay in j converting a genuine bank bill into coin. If j the administration succeeds in substituting bank credit for government credit for the circulating notes of the United Slates the rebuke its free-trade policy received last No vember will he as a breeze to a hurricane THF-New burg Independent comes out in favor of precinct asessors and wants the office of countv assessor abolished. While there are some good features in the svstem ! 0,1 -e'n"l ils circulating notes. thinness that renders travel dangerous general clearing away of the old concern has to take plat e, and I doubt if an iiistatue ntii be pointed out of a laying down of new plank. And this wearing out conies in any where from six to twelve years, according lo the amount and kind of travel to which the road has lieen subjected. The people nl Northern Ohio gave away immense wealth for a temporary and doubt ful benefit. Add to this the fact that the numerous furmers who lived in log houses at that day, when they got ready lo build more substantial dwellings had the privilege of paying Irom twelve to twenty dollars per thousand for their liimlicr, shipped in mostly by way of the lake from Michigan, Wisconsin anil Canada, ami hauling it anywhere from five to thirty miles, according to the distance they lived from the lake harbors. They had simply fooled away what should have been to them more than money given it to he wasted on roads or had sold it on the slump for a mere trille, Hut don't let It be forgotten that a few roatl contractors hail made a heap of money. Do not the above facts illustrate some what the condition we shall lie in here if we go into a general system of plank road building) True, our forests are so extensive that it would take many years lo reduce the scarcity of lumber to a scale as low as Dial in Ohio. I!ut just, so far as our forests tire cut away for plank road purposes just so far is Oregon's wealth wasted.

With a large number of assessors foracounty, each working independent of the others, it would be almost impossible to avoid confusion and to bring about an equal and just assessment or all the precincts in the county. The present law might be improved so as to em body the best features of a precinct assess rnent by limiting the time to sixty days and having the work done in April and May so that the roll could be made up in time for the payment of taxes to commence hy the first of September, when money is a little more readily had than in the spring as now required. tut Oriental warisdraggingslowlyalong.

The many train robberies of late has given rise to many plans for the suppres sion ol these highwaymen.

His idea Is messengers end shot guns. The remedy is not in this line. Train robbing, will continue as long as d d fool judges al low smart lawyers to pull the wool over the eyes of an ignorant jury. When the pun ishment Is made certain, speedy and severe, train robbing will stop and not before.
